About The Work
Baseball 42 depicts a toy figurine of Joe DiMaggio, the iconic New York Yankee, as he swings for the fences. Although the scene is staged, it's hard not to imagine hearing the roar of the crowd in the background as DiMaggio's bat catches contact with the ball, propelling it high into the grandstand. Using only a plastic doll and his camera, Levinthal is able to capture the hope, joy, and adrenaline rush of watching a great legend in action, allowing the viewer to linger on the mythology, nostalgia, and grandeur of the great American pastime.
